DON Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Oh well, need some back up I suppose. Just hope we dont have to use him much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallica Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Could be because of Seattle expansion draft. He could be one to expose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract ends with him as a UFA before the expansion draft in 2021. This does nothing for the Habs there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I enjoyed watching him play when he was hot, then he became a liability as he wore down last year. I hope he is à late bloomer like Petry ( I know Petry is way better, I am just saying that I hope he becomes a steady 3rd pairing D later in his career like Petry did) Edited June 26, 2019 by alfredoh2009 Added clarification before...

Trizzak Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Not a fan of this deal. He finished the season as a healthy scratch and there are better options in free agency for a similar price. A 1 year deal would have been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "we are doing this to expose someone in the expansion draft" narratives need to end. The rules are about how many people you have to protect... not the other way around. There is no signing players to expose in the latest expansion like there was in the 90s and early 2000s (exception on goalies though).

He makes 1 good play, then soft little puck up boards for easy turn over...he is simply scary in own end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Its insurance in case they can't upgrade the LD position. MB typically has 2 spare D and a forward as scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott462 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 It’s crazy to think at the beginning of last year Reilly was looking like at top 4 steal and then his game fell of a cliff. He’s still young maybe there is something to be salvaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
